On the day I was kicked out of my parents’ home, I had a flash marriage with the richest man.

Shi Ran grabbed Lei Zi's sleeves, shook his head gently, and nestled feebly in his arms.

"Brother, let me hug you for a while! I... haven't hugged you for a long time..."

"I thought... I would never have the chance to hug you again in this life... I didn't recognize you, not because I resented you... I resented myself."

Shi Ran's voice became weaker and weaker, as if she was talking to Lei Zi, but also to herself.

"The words I said to Chu He were not meant for myself? Resentment is a shackle, which trapped me, and finally cost me my life..."

Lei Zi hugged Shi Ran tightly, the tears in his eyes were like broken beads, falling one after another, wetting Shi Ran's pale face.

"Honghong, listen to my brother, you are still young. No matter what you have done, as long as your brother is here to help you, he will not let anything happen to you... You must live well for me... Do you hear me? Hold on. Stop, I won’t let you give up on yourself!”

Lei Zi's voice was choked with sobs, and his chest rose and fell violently, as if he wanted to pour out all the regret and pain in his heart.

Shi Ran's fingers moved slightly, and he gently hugged Lei Zi's waist, with a hint of sadness at the corners of his lips.

"Brother... I have no chance to look back. You don't know how bad I am... I even think I am bad."

Shi Ran slowly raised his head and looked at the monitor above his head, opening and closing his lips.

"How many bad things have I done over the years...I am a victim of trafficking, but I am also a perpetrator of trafficking in other children...Brother, do you know? How many children have I kidnapped...watch them cry, beg me Help them, they need to go home and find their parents. Instead of feeling pity for them, I think they are hateful.”

"I was thinking, why do they all have families and parents? But I don't?"

Shi Ran's body trembled, and bright red blood flowed out of the corners of his lips.

"Honghong!" Lei Zi shouted in pain.

Shi Ran still had a little smile and numbly said the unfinished words.

"I watched helplessly as their hands were chopped off, or their legs were broken, and they were thrown into the street as beggars. I didn't feel cruel, but I felt they deserved it. I was glad that I had completed another task and could have a full meal!"

"Brother, do you know? When I crawled out of the iron cage alone, the first task the other party gave me was to deceive a woman. The woman in the yellow polka-dot skirt, she was very beautiful , very gentle, smiled very lovingly, and rubbed my head and asked, "Child, where is your home? Why did your parents leave you alone on the street? Can Auntie take you home?"

"She spoke in a nice voice, very much like a mother. She said her daughter was a few years younger than me. She was so friendly to me, but I tricked her into going to the river."

"I don't know what happened next, but I know that once she is targeted by the organization as an adult, she will not survive! What a gentle person she is, and she even gave me candy... but my heart didn't waver at all. Not even the slightest bit moved.”

"I have been numb for a long time and have become a tool. I might as well die to end my sinful life..." Shi Ran said, and large mouthfuls of blood spurted out from the corners of his mouth, dyeing Lei Zi's clothes red.

Lei Zi shouted in panic, his voice trembling, "Honghong, Honghong, hold on, my brother will send you to the hospital now!"

Lei Zi had been tied up for several days, and his hands and feet had long lost control. He tried his best several times, but was unable to lift Shi Ran up from the ground.

Lei Zi was so helpless and desperate at this moment, he let out low roars, and veins popped out on his forehead.

Scarface rushed in, ran quickly towards Shi Ran, and laid her flat on the ground.

He took the lead to check Shi Ran's condition and then explored Shi Ran's breathing.

Already extremely weak.

Scarface asked someone to get a large amount of light salt water, drink it for Shi Ran, and press her abdomen to make her vomit it out.

However, it was too late.

Shi Ran bit open the poison sac hidden in his teeth. The poison is extremely fast and strong. Once contaminated, the medicine will have no effect.

Scarface shook his head at Lei Zi.

Lei Zi knelt down next to Shi Ran, and the iron-clad man cried until his nose burst into tears.

"It's all my brother's fault, it's my brother's fault... It's my brother who didn't take good care of you, it was my brother who harmed you, Honghong! It's my brother who deserves to die..."

"You have been so cute, so kind, like a little angel since you were a child. It was your brother's negligence that caused you...wuwuwu..."

Shi Ran opened his mouth and spat out blood mixed with salt water. His voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

"Brother...it's not your fault...this is my life..."

Every word Shi Ran said was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lei Zi's heart hard.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have caught something, "Honghong, just hold on for a while, and I'll call Chu He back! Don't you want to see him the most? With him here, you will definitely be able to hold on, right? "

Lei Zi stood up and was about to rush out and call Chu He back, but suddenly he felt his clothes tighten and was caught by Shi Ran's fingers.

She shook her head weakly, "Don't...don't want him, see what I am...now."

Shi Ran stared blankly at the air above, with a slight smile still on his lips.

"If there is an afterlife... Let's talk about it in the next life..." Shi Ran thought about something and said, "There shouldn't be an afterlife... I am so bad, I will go to hell and never be reincarnated."

"Hong Hong, Hong Hong..."

Lei Zi cried miserably and beat the ground helplessly with his hands.

"Brother, don't be too sad...this is my retribution...I have been...prepared for a long time! I also...I don't like Chuhe that much, but apart from you, he is the only one in this world... Let me still have some good thoughts in my heart...that's all."

Shi Ran's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he could no longer hold them up. He said softly, "Brother, take care" and closed his eyes completely.

"Hong Hong, Hong Hong, Hong Hong..."

Lei Zi hugged Shi Ran and cried hoarsely.

Scarface was a little moved, turned his head, and asked the bodyguards to go out, leaving space for the miserable brother and sister.

Chu Lichuan did not expect that Shi Ran would commit suicide after seeing Chu He.

Perhaps as Shi Ran said, she had been prepared to die for a long time. She had not said a word during this period, just waiting for Chu He.

She wanted to use this method to make Chu He more valuable in the Chu family and no longer be marginalized.

This is probably what Shi Ran said. Her only good thoughts were given to Chu He and her brother.

For Shi Ran, full of sins, only death is the best relief.

According to the location given by Shi Ran, Chu Lichuan found Jiang Tao's base camp hidden deep in the deserted mountain forest.

No wonder Jiang Tao had to come here before escaping. It turned out that many abducted women and children were imprisoned here.

In the eyes of others, they are people and life. In the eyes of a demon like Jiang Tao, they are all money, the lifeblood of his industry.

Jiang Tao probably wanted to smuggle all these people out before escaping.

Chu Lichuan and his people lurked around, waiting for darkness.
